1) This is just the calm before the storm and Kony-Island madness will return with a vengeance sometime this week.
2) It really is exactly what I said; Those who actually care will continue to do so and advocate human rights awareness. Those who pretend to care will fade away into obscurity until they find another thing to bandwagon.
Sometimes you just have to pat yourself on the back.
But enough of this madness talk. This is the rest of a fest of rant. Don't forget to 'like', comment, and pass this blog to everyone you know!
For those of you who don't know, (or refuse to pay attention to it) we live in a really bad time for music. Rock has completely lost it's edge (it's dead) and is more Pop-Rock than ever, Dub-Step is a bigger fad than guys who wear their pants below their ass, and 2011 saw arguably the biggest emergence of 'Party Rock' music, which somehow manages to make the dumbest of humans even dumber. It might sound like I hate Party Rock music, but I actually enjoy it thoroughly. The thing about 'artists' like LMFAO and 3OH!3 is that you can't judge their music based on it's lyrical content. It would be like watching Bruce Lee movies for the acting, because I guarantee you're not watching it for that purpose. Just like how you watch Bruce Lee films for the action, you listen to Party Rock music to have a good time. It's fast paced, energetic, and it often contains themes that deal with drinking, because alcoholism needs awareness too, right!?
As for Rock music, I grew up on all of my Dad's stuff (AC/DC, Van Halen, Zeppelin, Iron Maiden, and just about anything that was big at that time.) and I still listen to it today. When I hear how poppy Rock has become I just hang my head in shame.
And then there's rap music...boy do I have a f**king bone to pick with you...You make me hang my head in shame lower than anything on this planet, except for maybe ignorance and racism, 'cuz the world would be a better place without that s**t. Speaking of racism, do yourself a favour and check out, "Chicken Man" by Gillie Da Kid. I can't tell you anything other than if this is what Rap music has come to, I'm downright scared of the next decade of music. Let me borrow an excerpt from this song to explain my reasoning.
"Bitch, I'm the chicken man, I got that KFC, my n***ers cook it up, original recipe."
Uh, what? Keep in mind of the following:
1) That was only the third verse in the song
2) It's part of the chorus, which means it's repeated more than once.
Face-f**king-palm.
How did I come across this, you say? A friend of mine sent me a link to a video on worldstarhiphop.com (under-rated site) and an ad played in front of the video I was supposed to see. It was right there that Gillie Da Kid flew in and scooped me up! (and proceeded to drop me on my head.)
I don't know why, but I couldn't stop listening to the song! Not because the song was good, (because it's f**king awwwwwwwful) but because I couldn't believe how rap seems to be the one genre that's evolved backwards at a faster rate than any other music genre. I don't care what people say, but today's rappers are tarnishing the genre. Ask Gillie Da Kid who his inspirations were in rap, because I'm willing to bet that names like Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, and Jay-Z are just a few of many names that come up. I'm also willing to bet even more that Dre, Cube and Jigga want absolutely nothing to do with Gillie Da Kid. If you've ever seen the film Get Him to the Greek, then you know what I'm about to show you. Just watch this scene and every time you hear the name, "Chocolate Daddy" substitute it with, "Gillie Da Kid."
This needs to happen more.
I don't know what's worse, the fact that a record label thought 'Chicken Man' was a good idea, or that guys like Jay-Z are allowing this to happen. I'm just waiting to find out that Gillie was doing a show, when out of nowhere, Jigga and Kanye West kick his ass off the stage and do, "N**gas in Paris" for twelve hours straight.
Before I conclude this, don't forget to 'like', comment, and pass this blog to everyone you've ever known in the history of ever. Thank you.
To close, I present to you Mr. Donald Gover, aka Childish Gambino. He's a pretty solid rapper and I'll be at his show in two weeks, so expect a review of that! Here's a little taste for the kids in the mean time.
Oh and by the way. Dub Step is a fad. I don't care who gets pissed off by that. It's a fact.
